When Francisco Lindor’s No. 12 went missing, he found a ‘very nice’ replacement. (MLB.TV)

There’s a reason Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor is one of the most popular players in Major League Baseball. Not only is he a joy to watch on the field, he knows how to play to the audience with the best of them.

By the way, if you’re a little confused where all the “nice” responses are coming from, this should help.

Basically, Lindor played into one of the most popular Internet memes, and the manner in which he did it is pretty spectacular. Like the Angels playing with three No. 9’s at the same time last week, it really is one of those moments you’ll only see in spring training.
